Clive Fisher, BACP

Clive Fisher is a counsellor with eight years' experience. He holds a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from a BACP accredited college and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has worked in private practice and in community mental health settings. He also has experience as an independent mental health advocate and has worked in occupational therapy.

Clive draws on his own experience of living with anxiety and depression when he meets people. He says counselling helped him build self-awareness and day-to-day coping strategies. He offers that same practical focus to others, helping people notice patterns and try small changes that make life easier.

His practice covers a broad range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family problems, anger, loss and bereavement, trauma and abuse. The profile also lists areas such as codependency, ADHD, intimacy-related issues and career stress as additional focuses.

Clive uses an integrative approach in sessions. That means he brings together humanistic, psychodynamic, cognitive and existential ideas. He works in a person-centred way, which means the conversation is guided by what each person brings and by their priorities.

In community settings he supports people with long-term mental health difficulties and helps connect them with statutory and voluntary services. He works under the BACP's professional guidelines and carries DBS certification, indemnity insurance and clinical supervision.

Sessions are conducted in English and the practice accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
